If you could change one thing about anime...

[Arisato-kun]

I take it you've never seen Baccano? The dub is fantastic beyond words.

that actually was not bad, i am impressed. I never heard of that i think i will watch it some time soon, that scene got me interested.

It's really great. Best dub I've heard since Cowboy Bebop. Make sure you watch it dubbed. It fits so well that the sub just can't compete. More info to help spark your interest.

Just about all of the criticisms here I would want to happen, plus I would like better plots that make sense and voice actors. So many of them sound the same. English dubs should get English voice actors.

Honestly, I still don't see myself watching any anime but the Boondocks. If they made it interesting, maybe, but that just doesn't seem consistent with the style.

I would lower the level of fanservice. Seriously, cute girls are always nice to look at, but c'mon a show that wants to throw in 98729304587098 panty shots in one season is just ridiculous. I'm lookin' at you "Shuffle" and "Eiken".

 

[sageoftruth]

Lesse, we've already covered the fanservice part, which I wholeheartedly agree on, since it's created the stigma that anime fans only watch anime for fanservice.

I also agree that some of the shounen series need more animation in their action sequences, and I don't mean by resuing footage from earlier.

With those two already mentioned, I would like to see more series actually get finished.

 

[Ziggy the wolf]

the only thing i would change is the whole fucking fanbase. i hate how they go bat shit insane over the smallest thing. i like anime and i am a fan but if i see one more weeaboo feed a troll after saying *insert anime name here* was bashed, im going to go to an anime convention and start beating up people

 

[Shockolate]

I wish some of the more famous anime had dubs that weren't total shit.

*cough*Clannad*Cough*

 

[RanD00M]

What would I change? I would make more Yuri god damnit.That applied to hentai as well....What can I say,I love me some Yuri.

 

[rodeolifant]

I would change it's existence.

 

[stok3r]

What would it be? I personally would like it if the mouth animations were changed to suit whichever language the show was being shown in. I realize that mouth flaps work when you need to run the show in multiple languages, but it is really annoying.

How hard would it be to just try and sync up mouth animations?

Anyways, what would you change?

I'd change it so that 99% of it isn't shit!

No seriously, I like anime, bit alot of it is shit, and I would prefer there to be more stuff suited to my tastes. Like Ergo Proxy! Just mad Sci-Fi stuff! Not all this Moe crap (shamelessly like K-on and Working!! tho)

Never gonna happen tho lol

Actually very. Imagine having to redraw every single frame so the dialogue syncs up. Even with a team the work is tedious. :/

I'd like for more series to be released in America. There's tons of shows I've watched that will never see the light of day on this continent.

But if a show were specifically designed to be released to a foreign market, would that not justify syncing lip animations? Just sayin'.

If a show was designed to be released in a foreign market, it wouldn't have half the crap that most Japanese animes have because they would change most of it to fit with the foreigners.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

I'd make it live action.

Seriously, I can just about stomach manga, but as soon as it turns into anime a whole load of extra stuff happens that really turns me off it all. But as a live action I imagine there's quite a bit that I could put up with as long as it had a decent storyline.

 

[krseyffert]

My change would be a 3-parter.

1. Stop having long meaningful conversations during ultimate showdowns.

2. Stop jumping to flashbacks during ultimate showdowns.

3. Make the flashbacks allot shorter.( but really, the flashbacks are bad, i saw a flashback-within-a-flashback once in the middle of a epic battle. they never threw one punch that episode)

 

[tehroc]

Less angsty protagonists. It like Japan is specifically targeting the emo weeaboos here in America. I prefer anime late 80s style, mature protagonists that can be related to.

 

[drisky]

BAN all english dubs and add bigger subtitles.

in mobile suit gundam 00 setsuna yells in english


I AM GUNDAM


and allujah says


wait what?


in the japenese version setsuna yells i am gundam


and in the japenese version allujah says what the hell did you just say?

see the difference.

Too be fair my response to "I AM GUNDAM" would be "wait wait?". Yelling out i am gundam is way stupider than ether response.

Define "crap". Are you referring to the endless amounts of filler? Or are you saying that a show wouldn't be as good because it wasn't made for Japan?

Sorry replace crap with things or stuff or whatever.
And no what I meant to say was that making an anime specifically for a foreign market would have the developers changing a lot of things about anime to fit with the new audience.

 

[Code Monkey]

I would have the Moe genre erased from the minds of every human on earth.

You would be without doubt the worst person I have ever talked to (on the internet or otherwise) if you were to do that.

 

[LadyRhian]

I'd eliminate characters becoming super-deformed for no particular reason in shows that aren't comedy shows.
